String from DB is not parsing in Powershell

Question

While fetching data from db, I am getting a string which is not getting formatted in pwoershell.

String

[{"varun":"\\","rocks":true}]

It throws below exception System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

That looks like JSON. I'm assuming you're passing this to Convert-FromJson. Can you show us relevant part the script which give the error? — Aaron Jensen

My guess is that you're using it with the -f operator as format string? In this case you'll have to escape { and } as {{ and }} respectively because those are used for placeholders in the format string (e.g. {0}).

Also please provide more details next time, such as the complete error message (it says where it occurs, for example) and the code where it happens.
